by Andrew H on June 22, 2021 · in Aviation · 35 ≡

This build was inspired by some recent A-20G builds from our friends here at iModeler, as well as the fact that I was able to pickup this kit secondhand at my local hobby shop. The kit was the "Wings Aviation Collection" boxing, [...]

Operation Barbarossa…1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109F-4, 6./JG54

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on June 21, 2021 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

My father always liked but avoided this camo because he thought it would be hard to do with the airbrush. Back in 2013 he took the challenge and it wasn´t as hard as he had feared. Used a Hasegawa G-2 kit from their old "J" [...]

by Jordyn Collier on June 20, 2021 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

RSAF J9 / P-35 1/48 Dora Wings

by dale travis on June 19, 2021 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

Dora Wings have done an excellent job capturing the overall shape of this plane, it's light years more accurate than the old Hobby Craft kit. The build is fairly labor intensive and test fitting of parts is a must as with all limited run [...]

Luft ´46...1/48 Focke-Wulf Triebflügel VTOL Fighter

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on June 19, 2021 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

My dad isn´t usually a friend of whiffers and Luft 46 subjects. But the Amusing Hobby kit of the Triebflügel is rather simple, hasn´t many parts, so he decided to give it a try. Painted it in prototype style, some metal some primer some [...]
